Impact/Purpose:
The integrated assessment metrics provide holistic quantification of environmental, economic, and health risks outcomes.
Description:
This multi-benefit research will explore the feasibility of a framework to support market-based strategies to maximize environmental outcomes with lowest overall cost by targeting 1) point source compliance (water quality), 2) non-point source runoff reduction (water quality), 3) flood risk mitigation (water quantity) and 4) enhance aquafer recharge (water quantity). The rising tide of phosphorus variances for small communities in this region and other regions indicates the urgency and requires the development of more effective, lower cost solutions to alleviate eutrophication in water body. The integrated assessment metrics provide holistic quantification of environmental, economic, and health risks outcomes.
